It's the middle of winter down here, but I'll roll with a summer sale.

Where can I buy more time to play the games I already have?

Hahahahaha


As we move forward as a species.


We need to be more realistic about our economic organization


1...  There's no such thing as Ownership

___  Anything larger in mass than you are USES YOU, not the other way around..

___  Do you own your own company of 1000 people, NO, the company OWNS YOU... 

___  Are you the King of the Palace,  No, the Palace is its own King, you're a janitor feeding and rebuilding the palace.



2...  Collecting power and control is more poisonous to personal health than whatever material benefit it brings.

___  Let computers handle the macro decisions..  Humans are animals which eat sleep frolic, tighten a bolt here n there.




3...  Life span is ALWAYS spent,  it can not be accrued at the personal level, stop killing yourself and others over something that can not be possessed.

___  You're making yourself sick. STOP..

I do feel owned by the stuff I own.  Maybe it's time to return to minimalism.

I see all these middle class peeps around me,  they spend so much time on upkeep of their medium sized homes,  they may as well become professional janitors,

Instead, they're whatever their day job is,  + a janitor when they get home.

AGREED!
I am NOT impressed by this year's summer sale, and it's so bad they haven't convinced me to buy anything. Which I usually do.

I always stick to one or two games during each sale. Then I try and finish them. By that time, Autumn sales will be here and whatever other games I have on my wish list will be slightly cheaper.. sort of.

Minimalism is actually a function of privilege, because you can afford enough stuff that you can choose to get rid of it and live a simpler lifestyle.

But yea, your stuff can end up owning you.

Even in that respect, I believe the PERCEIVED necessary quantity / variety of -Stuff- is greatly inflated.


Humans need   water, food, a roof, a bed, and a toilet.


But modernity has extended all requisites of Life into Gildings.  Whereby the FORM usurps function to appease the senses for pleasure.


Hedonism is the downfall of every empire, be it personal, or vast nations..


It is characterized by the pursuit of pleasure for pleasure's sake..


We've got keyboards, it works, Move the hell on..


--- Then the capitalist will come in and say, it's about the money, and we're rich.. Wh000tt


But look at it this way...


You, the customer, waste your time, working, to buy yet another iteration of a tool (keyboard) that you already own.


Now to fill this continuous wasteful demand, the Capitalist has to work to build the keyboard to sell to you..


IN THE END,   EVERYONE, Including Both the Customer and the Capitalist has to WORK towards fulfilling a POINTLESS endeavor..

Life as a whole can be viewed as a pointless endeavour.  So I say engage in hedonism while you still can enjoy it.

hahaahahahhaahahaha


It's really not so spontaneous.  Reality is a completely connected interplay of relationships.

We only segment this reality when we attempt to perceive it, due to our own processing capacity limit.


In this procedure of categorical analytics,  we often neglect the connections to the whole, and the larger , (potentially more important) ,  End game solutions..


Because one king is mired in his pleasure palace,  the ENTIRE world suffers, as they are the ones who has to build such a structure.

-- The builders toil pointlessly, 

-- The (Capitalist) owners of the builders guild toils pointlessly, 

-- Then the King dies on his toilet leaving his good for nothing kids to continue extravagant ****ting..

Really want Darius Burst CS but the price still seems kind of steep, anyone play it?

The price is steep.

I bought it anyway. The graphics are lovely. It's got a nice slow ramp up of difficulty it's not massively complicated. However the whole burst mechanic definitely means there's plenty of skill involved if I choose to take it that far.

I'm not altogether sure I'll get 20 euros worth out of it but I haven't been put off in any way so far. When on the fence it's probably best to download an emulator and the old Darius games and see if those hook you for long before jumping in. I'm pretty determined to play everything I buy on Steam (bar the absolute garbage I've picked up in Humble Bundles) for a few hours before I decide to pack it in.

It's a 60 gig download or something, you might want to start it xD . I've played the tutorials and the first mission and I should say it's pretty legit so far! Absolute tons of crutches for the novice players but you can switch everything off.

I would HIGHLY recommend picking up the Just Cause pack. Comes with Just Cause 1 2 AND 3 as well as ALL THE DLC for Just Cause 3 for only 7.99

It is a freaking steal - even if you own the game it's still cheaper getting that then buying all the dlc seapertly.

Very good game, I guarantee you will have a ton of fun ****ing around in 3


edit - my mistake, it's $25 (it was shown as less because I own 3 and 2 already)

Just Cause 3 is like playing GTA V with a bunch of mods. I spend hours just flying around just doing whatever, I've hardly played the actual game missions at all to be honest. Just gliding taking in the scenery calmly, or ****ing with cities and bases doing crazy stunts or seeing what the physics will allow me to do.

here's a random video of someone just having fun

Any thing for Euro Truck Simulator?  Best game ever.

My wishlist has 46 items on sale.  That's pretty much the whole list.  It's terribly tempting.

I ended up picking up ALL of the Euro Truck Sim 2 DLC I didn't have.

What the hell?.  All the skin packs were like $.50!  I think I spent about $25 in little DLC.  Good for them, I like to support small devs with reasonably priced DLC.  I become a completionist when they are that cheap.  I have a disease.  I need help!

Tp4,  Highly Recommends,   


Kingdom Rush ($2.49), and Kingdom Rush Frontiers ($4.99)


Kingdom Rush is much more difficult than the sequel kingdom rush frontiers.

--Both are very fun and balanced tower defense games..



The mobile version on ios/android is much more cumbersome to control vs the PC version with mouse and keyboard..
